Sujet: Los Angeles Kings signed Cal Petersen (3 Years / $858,333 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>Cap space isn't going to be an issue for the Kings over the next several years. Worst case scenario is that he plays quality hockey in a backup role in 2020-21, earns the starting gig in 2021-22, then wants Hellebuyck/Gibson money in 2022. Quick will still be under contract for one more season at that point (assuming he doesn't get taken by Seattle), and then they'll have $12M+ tied up in goaltending right around the time that they're ready to compete again.

$2M is more than he's proven he's worth at this juncture, but it protects the Kings from being in a Toronto situation in 3 seasons when many of the Kings prospects will be RFAs (Kupari, Vilardi, Anderson-Dolan, Durzi, Anderson, Phillips). If even half of those guys turn into quality prospects, the Kings will have a tough time with raises if they have to give Petersen a payday.</div></div>

That's assuming he plays lights out and earns the starter role along with your other valid points. Certainly true, but don't also overlook the cap rising enough to justify the pay raise. The Kings, imo, will have enough for the kids. If they have to, they'll get creative. Right now, Chicago is paying 11M for their goalies for next season and are finding (albeit not so-good) ways of fixing the roster.

Bottom line is, 2M is just ludicrous . Sure, if they made it 1M x 4 years, I'd take it. But I'm sure Cal wanted to bet on himself a little and take his chances. I think guys brave for that.

Sujet: Edmonton Oilers signed Josh Archibald (1 Year / $1,000,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilersfan089</b></div><div>Oilers need more speed in their lineup. All of those players mentioned aren't brining enough speed. They already have Lucic, Khaira, Kassian, Brodziak, and Chiasson for the "big guy that's not very fast" type of player. Don't need more even if Maroon and Lingberg would be improvements to some of the guys mentioned.</div></div>

I understand the need for speed, but at this point any good finisher should be considered imo. They need guys to put it in the back of the net, period. I'm sure McDavid and Drai can adjust accordingly.

Also, decent signing here. It's a bit of a career resurrection for Josh, so let's see what he can do. What I'm glad about is that Edmonton management aren't rushing into fixing the lineup. It'll take some time and they seem up for it.

Sujet: St. Louis Blues signed Jordan Binnington (2 Years / $4,400,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>I agree with you. Binnington could be the next Patrick Roy for all we know. He can also be a one hit wonder. Murray’s numbers his first year are better than binnington was my major point. Imo he was diminishing Murray’s accomplishments. Listen I hate the penguins(caps fan) but Murray is a stud.</div></div>

I may be the unpopular option here but Murray's game doesn't give me confidence going forward. He seems to be moving in the crease a lot, but then again guys like Quick and Rinne have proved you can win with that style (less Rinne, but he's out of this world)..
Anyhow, I feel Jordan is a very composed and confidence inspiring goalie, and I think did a lot to turn STL around this past season. Murray did have MAF to fall back upon even for assistance. I'd like to also point out that I'm a secret Pens fan (fav US team, but mostly because of Sid) so it's not like I'm trying to play down Murray's achievements.
